In case you missed it, in April Simply Voting was in Boston at the insurance and risk management industry professionals conference. RIMS, the risk management society™ empowers risk professionals to make the world safer, more secure, and more sustainable. Through networking, professional development, certification, advocacy, and research, RIMS and its 80 chapters serves more than 200,000 risk practitioners and business leaders from over 75 countries. Founded in 1950, the Society publishes the award-winning Risk Management Magazine and produces  RISKWORLD@ the largest annual gathering of global risk professionals.

Simply Voting attended their annual convention to meet with some of these entities. How do online elections fit into risk management? Corporations and insurance captives conduct shareholder votes annually to vote in their board of directors. Some of them even collect proxies to facilitate their vote and meet quorum.

Online elections play a significant role in risk management for corporations and insurance captives during their annual shareholder voting process. Here's how:

  1. Ensuring Compliance
    Online voting platforms help organizations comply with governance requirements by securely managing shareholder votes. They ensure transparency and accuracy in board elections, reducing the risk of disputes or regulatory non-compliance.
  2. Meeting Quorum Efficiently
    By facilitating proxy collection and remote participation, online elections help entities achieve quorum more easily. This minimizes the risk of meeting delays or cancellations that could disrupt decision-making processes.
  3. Mitigating Security Risks
    Reliable online election systems like Simply Voting provide robust security measures, such as encrypted vote storage and voter authentication, reducing the risk of fraud or unauthorized access. This protects the integrity of the election process.
  4. Reducing Operational Risks
    Online platforms streamline vote management, reducing human error associated with manual processes like paper ballot handling or tallying. Automated systems ensure accurate and efficient outcomes, minimizing potential operational disruptions.
  5. Enhancing Stakeholder Confidence
    Transparent and secure online voting increases trust among shareholders, ensuring that the voting process is fair and unbiased. This helps organizations maintain their reputation and foster stronger stakeholder relationships.

By integrating online elections into their processes, corporations and insurance captives effectively manage risks related to governance, compliance, and operational efficiency.
